It’s a Building<\/i><\/a>, emphasizing the need for the people of God in this age to be the dwelling place of God and as such be organized according to His precepts for His glory in this world. I was not overly satisfied with this message. I felt like I had something I wanted to say, but didn’t really get it across very well. I am trying to communicate in my series a Biblical philosophy of the church (as I understand it!) but I am afraid that this message was not as well thought through as I wanted it to be.<\/p>\nI don’t think I said anything in it that was unbiblical (I certainly hope not!) but I don’t think I said anything particularly profound either. I was glad when it was over, if only that it was over. Next week I plan to preach on It’s a Body<\/i>. May the Lord give grace, I hope that message is better.<\/p>\n
